ALBERT 💙
This is Albert and he is a (sometimes naughty 🤦♀️) English Bull Terrier. Every week, Albert and I choose a member of our class who deserves recognition for something. It could be attitude, work rate, behaviour…anything at all! And then I write a postcard (of the bold and very handsome Albert) explaining how proud I am of that class member, and why.
